[End of Census Document]


Notes

  • The 'i' after some of the male children seems to get applied to those who are up to at least 12 years (if they have no occupation). This is deduced by comparing children with a 'i' after their names in this census with the 1821 census ( 20 years and 4 months later) where ages are given. Examples are :- Edward Doggett 8 years, Samuel Hart 10 years, Thomas Ellsey 11 and John Pri/etty 12 years. A fifteen year old such as Daniel Moore did not have an "i".
  • On Page 6 the wife of Daniel Doggett is Isabella. In the 1811 and 1821 census his wifes name is Arabella.
